TSC chimerism in the airways of lung transplant patients. A. TSC chimerism in the nasal respiratory epithelium. B. TSC chimerism at the anastomoses. C. TSC chimerism in the bronchial airways. Values consistent with no chimerism are indicated by the red lines. Symbols represent individual data points. Data are presented as the median with interquartile range, n = 10–13. Differences were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis test. D. TSC chimerism as a function of CLAD Score. Data are presented as violin plots. Stars: blue-75th percentile, black-median, red-25th percentile. Differences were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis test. E. Analysis of differences in TSC chimerism between subjects who had CLAD at the time of sampling and those who were free of CLAD. Box and whisker plots illustrating: range-dotted lines, 25–75 interquartile range-blue rectangle, and median-black dot. Differences were evaluated using a mixed model.
